UCT Online High School uses an integrated approach to delivering science practicals for internal assessments that utilises video demonstrations, online simulations and at-home practicals within a fun, safe and controlled environment. Learners will never be required to attend a physical venue to conduct science practicals nor acquire expensive and potentially dangerous equipment to use at home. All practicals to be conducted within the home environment will use materials listed in our stationery and equipment list, and/or cheap and easy-to-source materials from a local supermarket or online store. Additionally, learners will be briefed on the practicals they will be conducting before the module where the practical is placed, allowing the learner’s primary caregiver to source the required materials well in advance. The methods used to deliver science practicals adhere to the Curriculum Assessment Policies Statements (CAPS) outlined by the Department of Basic Education (DBE). We aim to equip learners with the practical skills required to prepare them for future studies in the sciences through the use of a fun, engaging, and safe environment.

Our Support Coaches are dedicated to nurturing and developing our high school learners holistically. While our Support Coaches are equipped to provide excellent holistic support, they are not counsellors. When a high school learner is in need of emotional or mental health support that is outside the bounds of the Support Coaches purview, they will refer them to our School Counsellor. Our School Counsellor will supply a referral where matters exceed their duty of care. UCT Online High School does not cover costs for all external support.

Tuition fees are subject to an annual increase. Please refer to our Fees handbook for detailed information about this.

Requirements for homeschooling vary from country to country. Please consult the resources from your country's Education Ministry to gain clarity on the requirements that you will need to adhere to.

Please see our stationery and equipment list here.

We offer a Structured Flexibility approach where Adult Matric learners have the flexibility to complete the necessary content freely within a week — want to study on a Tuesday night or Saturday morning? No problem, as long as you cover the week’s worth of content before the end of the week. Adult Matric Learners will also have access to pre-recorded ASC examination prep sessions to further cement their understanding of the academic content prior to writing the ASC exams. Further support will be provided by our Support Advisors who will be accountability partners and provide administrative support and motivation throughout the learning journey. Our Technical Support team is also on hand to support any technical issues on our various learning platforms and will be on hand during live tests and exams. Our Support Advisors and Tech Support team will be available Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-5:00 pm SAST during published academic terms.
